Transition to chaos in a three-mode model of forced, dissipative flow in a rotating fluid

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

For a truncated triadic model of the barotropic vorticity equation of two-dimensional rotating fluid the mechanism of successive bifurcations to chaotic attractors is evidentiated. It is suggested that the transition to chaos takes place through a Feigenbaum sequence.
